Kids Fire Safety

Teaching children about fire safety can help them recognize hazards and understand what to do during an emergency. Kids should learn to stay away from matches, lighters, and other sources of fire, recognize the sound of a smoke alarm, and know how to get outside safely if an alarm sounds.

Families can make fire safety part of everyday life by creating and practicing a home escape plan, choosing a safe meeting place outside, and talking about how to behave safely around fires both at home and outdoors. The resources below offer kid-friendly activities, games, and lessons that can help make learning about fire prevention and safety easier and more engaging.
